Would be great to discuss how many B&F Clarry will win when he is done playing footy... 😲 I am continuously gobsmacked and in awe when I see him play. 

Top 5 MFC players all time?

We'll be talking about him tonight.

Probably #1. Definitely will be once his career is over.

He's special.  Leading the AFLCA MVP again too, despite Gawn and Trac also getting plenty of votes.

He's just like a big kid playing at his local footy club, you can see how he enjoys every single time he is out there hurting people and grabbing the pill.

Has there ever been any back to back champion player of the year?

Gary Ablett won 3 years running 2007-09.  That's it.

Goody won in 2006 😀

Another hour or so very well spent.  Thanks Andy, George & Bin.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the Demonland podcast is the best, most measured analysis anywhere.

Thank you very kind of you to say. We do put a lot of preparation into it so it's nice to hear some positive feedback like this.

If you can we'd really appreciate a positive review on Apple Podcasts. Positive reviews and feedback will help us grow the audience particularly because it is a niche subject.

More than happy to do this Andy, but as my user name suggests, I'm old (verging on ancient!).  You are talking different language to me, but if you send me a link, I can probably find the right place to leave feedback.

Do you own and iPhone? If so all you need to do is download the Apple Podcast app from the App Store. It looks like this.

Apple Podcasts Continues to Be Plagued by Technical Issues

Once in  the App search for Demonland Podcast. You will see our red logo with the Demon head inside the Premiership Cup. Click on it and then proceed to scroll until you see the section for Ratings and Review. Tap the 5 Stars (or what ever rating you want to give but give us 5 stars please 😜) . Also leave a written review in the space provided if possible.

If you don't have an iPhone then I'm sure there is an Android phone equivalent but I have no idea what you do on that platform or even if the Android podcasting app has that ability.

I am Android Andy and never had a problem tuning in either live or after the event. Apple too expensive for me, strange isn't it I bought my GD a phone just recently and it is apple. My wife now says she has a phone that is dearer than both our phones put together.

Thanks guys. With my ongoing issues of insomnia (not related to my MFCSS, I promise), I really appreciate these podcasts - more than ever! Appreciate the general positivity of the Dees outlook too. Although, having said that, if our decline continues, I hold you all responsible.

Any positivity detected from me is a symptom of the first stage of MFCSS which is denial.

Great podcast fellas. Some fantastic insights and while I don’t always agree with everything, I can always see the reasoning as it’s well explained. 
 

Measured, considered and articulate. Really appreciate the effort and makes my drive home much more interesting. Thanks for the pod.

Rivers to the wing. That's an interesting one @binman. All depends on his tank. I'd like to see him roll through the centre square too.

As for lack of pressure, would love to know what our post clearance pressure numbers are like, because this would explain why we're so high for intercepts and how our defensive system still strangled teams in the first 10 rounds.

And gee whiz. Oliver runs our midfield, @binman. Petracca wouldn't get it half the time if Oliver wasn't giving it to him. Petracca has dynamic moments and could turn a GF as we've seen, but over the four quarters I'd have Oliver, but love Trac too. 😜

My thoughts exactly.

Oliver is the quiet hard worker, Petracca the flash and dash.

You rarely see Oliver MIA in a game, even in his "worst" performances.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
